A Senior's View
Impressions of Life at MWC
Last fall, the Alumni Association sponsored
a Classes - Chapter Work Shop for all enthu-
siastic alumni volunteers. Highlights of the
program included four presentations, by stu-
dents, giving their impressions of life around
the campus today. Debby Jordan, who was
then the Senior representative to the Alumni
Board of Directors, gave the following
presentation - which the Board thought all
alumni would like to read.
Mary Washington College. . the only small,
stale supported, residential, co-educational lib-
eral arts college in Virginia. Used as an intro-
duction to the Mary Washington catalog, lliat
statement alone may entice one to look into
Mary Washington, but does it really tell what
Mary Washington is all about? The academic
challenge, the honor system, and the lifestyles
are three important aspects of the life at Mary
Washington. Beth has discussed our honor sys-
tem. Cindy the academic community, and Greg
has given us a male perspective of life here at the
college. And finally, my impressions of Mary
Washington College . . With simplicity I might
say. "I like it. " - but I can V stop there. After
surviving through the overwhelming meetings
Of freshman orientation and the first period of
final exams. I was prepared to handle anything!
I must admit, though, that first semester was
quite a hectic one. Fire drills at 4:00 in the
morning? How could I possibly wake up; close
the windows: open the blinds, turn on the lights,
and don myself with shoes, a towel, and shower
cap. cautiously make my way. amongst 130
other screaming freshman, down to the front
porch of Virginia Dorm, all within 2 minutes?
After awhile, though, it all came naturally -
but it wasn 7 until our last fire drill freshman
year that 1 noticed myself to be the sole wearer
of a shower cap. Those junior counselors had
done it again - and I was the fool! ! ! But our
revenge was yet to come. As the junior class
proudly accepted their Mary Washington
College Rings in the spring of 14. project
number one for the class of '77 was underway!
We were not to be outdone by anyone before
us in the "tradition of Junior Ring Week. "
The highpoint of our first class project was
the expression of our junior counselors as they
happily tnarched down campus drive, only to
find their bedrooms, neatly arranged in Ball
Circle.
Is that all we did for fun? Of course not!
Fortunately class council kept us busy by
sponsoring organized activities on weekends.
Mixers. Keg Parlies. Mo vies, and a formal
dance each semester. This gave us all an oppor-
tunity to close the books, forget the papers, and
go out for a good time The first mixer was a
real experience - one I'll never forget! One
week of ctsses had gone by - and males were
scarce. I wondered who there would be to
"mix with" at this affair in Ann Carter Lee Ball-
room. It wasn 't long before I learned that men
from everywhere imaginable had heard of our
social function, and begun to "crawl out of the
woodwork. " Contrary to what one may think
of a predominantly women 's college, the social
life was very lively.
Seacobeck. I couldn't forget that aspect of
student life. As a freshman, dining was the
most enjoyable part of the day - we all attended
three meals daily, endulging in numerous
helpings of Sara Lee Pastries, delicious biscuits,
and plates full offrench fries, while we solved
the problems of the world. Was biology or
drama a more marketable field? Did this weeks
chemistry lab last three hows? Was Mary in-
vited to U. Va. ? All of this was important, and
the food was good, the company nice, and the
atmosphere relaxing. It wasn 't until we went
home in May, and stepped on the scales, that
we realized - sophomore year must bring a
termination to those long hours of dining!
It was sad to see freshman year end - the
carefree college life was over - and it was
time to settle down. Sophomore year there
were no excuses for neglecting to initial the

commonly diagnosed as "Sophomore Slump. "
I decided the best cure for this dreadful disease
was to ease upon the books a bit, and enjoy
some good healthy fun! The swim team was
the answer! I had not previously been involved
in any of Mary Washington 's athletic programs
and so decided to try one out. Because of a
somewhat rusty stroke. I contributed little to
the twim team, pointwise. but it was alot of
fun and it cured my slump. I can proudly say
I was a member of the 1975 Women 's Swimming
Championship for small colleges in Virginia.
As spring came sophomore year, a big
decision was upon us. What would it be like
to be a junior counselor in a freshman dorm?
Weighing the possibilities of how to spend
junior year became a common topic amongst
the sophomore class. I personally wanted to
follow in the footsteps of my junior coun-
selors and pass on to the class of '79 the en-
thusiasm that I share for Mary Washington.
That in itself was a good enough reason, and
so I applied for the position. Finally the
counselors were chosen and I was among
them. The plans began!
Junior year . . .with 21 freshmen! It
was great! From the first day to the last —
/ knew I had the best hall. Somehow the
counselors on fourth floor thought their
hall to be better - but, no, Randolph fifth
took the cake!! I couldn 't have had a more
enjoyable experience than seeing a group of
enthusiastic freshmen learn what college life
is all about, and be able to help them along,
share their enthusiasm and get them involved.
They learned quickly, and in February I
learned that I was no longer the knowledgable
one! Junior Ring Walk had finally arrived.
In all the excitement of receiving class rings
and anticipating the Junior Ring Dance, we
had no time to worry' about freshman pranks.
Maybe I should have . . .The week began with
a room stuffed ceiling to floor with newspapers:
a blindfolded walk to the Yellow Caboose for
steak, on Ihem, and the display of my bedroom
on the porch of Randolph dorm. Being carried
to Seacobeck in pajamas, with 21 tired voices
singing "to breakfast we will go" culminated
the week. But I wouldn 't have traded them for
anything! Most satisfying was the note they
left me during final exams in May - "thanks
for everything. Mom. "
Yes, junior year was a good one - and Mary
Washington saw many changes. A co-ed dor-
mitory, Westmoreland, housed both men and
women. The attitude of the women toward
the male students changed even more. It
seemed to be widely accepted that the pop-
ulation of men added positively to the student
And anew year is now upon us — Senior
year. What will it bring? Placement folders,
G.R.E. 's, resumes, job interviews, and ulti-
mately -graduation! Now that question we
once pondered over in Seacobeck is important.
Is biology or drama a more marketable fleld?
But whether or not we step right into our life-
time goal, upon graduation, 4 years at Mary
Washington College could never be replaced,
or forgotten.
That 's life at Mary Washington College.
